A vehicle fire on Bleecker Street sent two juveniles to the hospital with burn injuries Sunday night, Chief Fire Marshal Raymond Beck said.

Firefighters arrived at the Nimey's used car lot next to Dari-Del on the corner of Culver Avenue and Bleecker Street around 10 p.m., Beck said, where a 1999 Chevrolet pickup truck was burning.

The fire was extinguished quickly and the two juveniles were transported to the hospital, Beck said. Their ages, the extent of their injuries and their current conditions were unavailable this morning.

The Utica Arson Task Force began an investigation Sunday night but could not conclude it due to lighting conditions, Beck said.

The vehicle was impounded and the investigation is continuing this morning, Beck said.

No further details, including the cause of the fire, are available at this time, Beck said.
